The only thing better than the traditional Christmas lunch is being able to scoff the leftovers.
There is usually plenty of food around in the days after Christmas but do you know how long it can all be kept for?
According to the Food Standards Agency, it is safe to freeze food right up until the use-by date.
So make sure you check the date on the packaging beforehand.
But there are things we must do first in order to get the most out of our turkey leftovers, as Manchester Evening News explain.
Leftover meat should be cooled, covered and put into the fridge or freezer within one or two hours.
If you choose to freeze your cooked turkey, once it's defrosted you must eat the food within 24 hours.
You can also use previously cooked and frozen turkey to create a new meal.
And the new meal can be frozen too but make sure you only reheat it once.
For those who choose to refrigerate their cooked leftovers, the NHS also offers advice.
Its website states that leftover food should ideally be used within a 48-hour period.
So following this advice you have just two days post-Christmas Day to gobble up all your turkey leftovers.
